Harare, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Police in Zimbabwe on Friday charged three women found in possession of 33 condoms containing semen with 17 counts of aggravated indecent assault in a case that may be a break in a string of sex attacks over the past two years by women targeting male hitchhikers.Prosecutor Michael Reza told a court in Harare that the counts were for each of the 17 men who had positively identified the women as having sexually assaulted them in 2010 or 2011.The women, all of them in their mid-20s, were arrested Sunday in Gweru, about 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Harare, when their car was involved in an accident. Police found the condoms in the women's car. Police appealed to any other victims to inform police.The three were taken Wednesday by police to Harare."Since Monday, 17 men came and positively identified the women as having raped them," said a police official in Harare who refused to be identified. "Most of the men said the women would offer a drink either laced with something to tranquilize them or were forced at gunpoint." Watch Ruparanganda, a professor of sociology at the University of Zimbabwe said : "Some sections of the society use these sperm for ritual purposes. The thinking is that it can be used for regeneration of life since they are source of life (biologically). Some people think that they can have their bad luck gone by using semen. I am sure that explains all this we have been witnessing (men being forced)."

They were to be held in custody until their next appearance, set for October 28, when more charges may be filed.

"We might have had more victims come identify these women," said the police source.

Admit it -- when you hear the term serial rapist, you tend to picture a man, right? But in Zimbabwe, a trio of women in their 20s are being charged for sex attacks of 17 men. When their car was involved in an accident on Friday, police found the women -- Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26, and her sister, Netsai Nhokwara, 24 -- had a stash of 33 condoms containing semen. Ughhhh. I know!It seems the women had been targeting male hitchhikers over the past two years, either giving them a drink with a tranquilizer or raping them at gunpoint. Terrifying! And 17 men have come forward to positively identify the three women as having raped them, so it's not just like one or two guys are telling some cockamamie story. Yeeesh. At first glimpse, you might think these women are a.) out of their minds and committed these rapes as a string of senseless acts, or b.) one of them was a totally wacko ringleader forcing the other two to go along for the ride.

What-Accused says tampon toss prank ruined her life

very bad act...

An Australian woman who tossed a wet tampon at a McDonald's worker says the drunken prank has ruined her life.

She said the tampon was wet with cordial when she initially dabbed it on the employee's hand, then threw it at him.

She has since accused the staff member of making "a mountain out of a molehill.""When the police came around, I thought, 'You've got to be kidding,'" her said.Luke Clareburt, who was hit with the tampon, said he didn't know what was on it.

"She deserves everything she gets," he said. "She's got no one to blame but herself."

Why-Playboy sheds rabbit ears

WE were a little deflated to discover the first fully official Playboy line of condoms won't come with rabbit ears - at least not on the actual products, just the box. But 2011's international Playmate Of The Year Claire Sinclair will be flown to Australia next month as part of the international launch for the products - mainly through Woolworths, of all outlets.

We thought that an odd match too, but distributor Simon Jospesp told us that 53 per cent of condom sales happened in Woolworths and Coles, and 60 per cent of Australian customers are women, not blokes.

Nice-Thieves return cremated baby's ashes

Whether thieves returned the cremated ashes of a baby girl out of conscience or clumsiness matters not. An Australian family has their precious urn back after it was found a few blocks from their house in Brisbane, reports the Courier Mail.

The ashes of the child, who died at just 10 days old, were taken when the home was burglarized Thursday.

The mother, identified only as Monica, 55, made an appeal for their return."We lost her in 1995 ... we've always carried her ashes with us. It was my husband and I's (sic) only child," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The urn was later found on a nearby street.

Nice -Mickey Mouse-shaped pumpkins created for Halloween

Mr Bowman - whose farm in Lincolnshire is the largest supplier of pumpkins in Europe - grew the fruit using a special mould and a seed variety called, appropriately, Cinderella.The pumpkins are on display at the Paris theme park as part of its Halloween Festival this weekend.

‘They’ve turned out well but, because they are such an unusual shape, people think they’re fake,’ Mr Bowman said.

'We have had a few challenges because of the bad summer this year but we've grown a good Mickey crop.

It's great that the rest of the world will now get to enjoy them.'The unusual crop was created using specially designed moulds which were fitted to the pumpkins while they were in the early stages of growth, and then left until the crop grew and ripened from green to orange.

The timing was particularly crucial, since the pumpkins may have simply outgrown the moulds if they were (www.metro.co.uk)

Daredevil- Lovers share picnic on the edge of 800ft cliff

Anyone wants to try…

The pair had carefully crawled right to the end of Australian landmark Hanging Rock, where the sandstone is only a few centimetres wide. Photographer Michael Matthews was amazed to see the duo so far out on the narrow rock formation, overlooking the Grose River Gorge in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. He said: ‘They even had a hug and a kiss out there but were being extremely careful.’ Matthews, 54, had driven from his home in Sydney, having seen an image of the Hanging Rock on a postage stamp. ‘I decided that I had to see it for myself,’ he said.

Matthews reached a viewpoint known as Baltzers Lookout but still couldn’t see the landmark – which shares its name with another Australian feature made famous by the book Picnic At Hanging Rock: ‘I felt quite vulnerable up there. There were no fences and a wind was blowing. I felt it would be easy to get blown off the cliff if you got too close to the edge.’ (ww.metro.co.uk)

Rare-Snake stores sperm 5 years, gives birth

Very nice achievement…

A rare case of a snake giving birth after being in captivity for five years has led geneticists to confirm for the first time that reptiles can store sperm for several years.According to New Scientist magazine; the female rattlesnake was in a private collection in Florida and had no contact with other snakes during that time. But late last year, it gave birth to 19 snakelets.

To study the phenomenon, Warren Booth of North CarolinaStateUniversity in Raleigh took DNA samples from the mother and her young. Booth studies "virgin birth," in which a female produces young without any contribution from a male.But in this case the snakelets carried genes that their mother didn't, so she must have mated before being captured and stored the sperm, he concluded.Booth told New Scientist he suspects other reptiles can store sperm even longer."How long is anyone's guess," he said.(QMI)

Why-Sexy, religious images spotted on new money

Canada's new plastic money may give you a little more bang for your buck.

New documents show a focus group mistook a strand of DNA on the $100 bill for a sex toy.

Most people also thought the see-through window on the new polymer notes was shaped like the contours of a woman's body.Others looked into the port holes of a famed Canadian icebreaker and saw a skull and crossbones staring back at them.These are just some of the offbeat images focus groups thought they saw on the plastic bank notes that go into circulation next month.

Internal documents show the Bank of Canada fretted that Canadians would find all kinds of unintended images on the new bills. So the bank used focus groups to spot "potential controversies."Security features stir imagination"The overall purpose of the research was to disaster check the $50 and $100 notes among the general public and cash handlers," says a January report to the central bank. Clockface or religious symbol.Every focus group thought they saw religious iconography on the face of the PeaceTower clock."It was often described as 'The Star of David.' Others referred to it as a 'pagan' or 'religious' symbol," the document says.

"This evoked a response that suggested that the depiction of religious icons on Canadian bank notes was strongly resisted."The research also raised red flags about the new $50 bill.
